Hi everyone, I just signed up earlier today.

I've been getting interested in buying spore lately (saw a bunch of videos on youtube first) and learned of some of its watered-down ideas (though the original concept was still amazing). I was excited to catch wind of this Thrive project. When I read that you would like contributors, even as scientific advisers, I couldn't help but sign up. I have no programming skills, but I can offer any insights available which you may want as Thrive continues to...well....thrive.

I have a B.S. in Biology and a M.S. in Fishery Science (would like to get a PhD if circumstances allow). Here's a quick description of my academic background:

It's spectacular to see you proficient in soo many sciences. Such knowledge always helps to ground the concept of the game in realism. If you want, I recommend you check out the Implementing Pollution thread, in which climate change is being discussed, as well as how the players civilization affects it.

For a quick debriefing of basic forum etiquette, make sure to try to avoid multi-posting, and posting on very old threads (ie necro-posting).
